Independent Liberals of Israel

The Independent Liberals were a liberal political party in Israel that was active from 1965 to 1984. The party was opposed to the merger of the Liberal Party of Israel and Herut, leading to its split from the Liberals. Almost all of the dissenters were former Progressive Party of Israel members, and the party reached its height of power during its year of foundation, during which it held 7 Knesset seats. In 1977, the party won just one seat in the Knesset, and the party failed to cross the electoral threshold in 1981. In 1984, the party merged into Alignment.
